Attempted scam?
Hi!
I’m new to eBay and I need some advice. I just listed an item for sale (a PS4) and I received a purchase offer. Right away the situation seems pretty strange, since this person made an offer at the same purchase price (instead of buying directly).
Also, by clicking on their profile in the ‘information’ section, the buyer wrote a generic message saying they were interested in the product, and that before shipping it they asked me to send additional photos of the product to their personal email (with an English name, by the way). They also offered to pay shipping up to 30 euros.
I know all of this could be screaming scam, but since I’m new to the world of online buying and selling (and especially eBay) I’m not too sure. Not knowing what happens if I accept the purchase offer, I decided to write here on the forum to get some advice
Thanks everyone for the help and happy holidays!

I figured it was a scam, but I waited for the opinion of people who are more expert on the subject.
Best regards to you too 🤗
